Yes.
Another team member did this bit, and I just reviewed his docs. In a nutshell:

Restore 10g backup on 11g on ODA
setup as a standby

when ready to migrate:

* shutdown prod database
* wait for standby to catch up
* shut down standby
* open with startup upgrade
* proceed with standard upgrade steps.

It all worked quite well.
